Preface

The desire to decorate and somehow highlight garden plot familiar to all owners. In practice, it can be implemented in different ways: from installing garden sculptural compositions to creating artificial landscape areas like an alpine slide. But in most cases, dacha owners tend to use more discreet methods and combine aesthetics with practicality. This is most clearly reflected in the appearance of the landscaping elements. There are many options for garden benches on sale, but most summer residents prefer to create them themselves, using their creativity, imagination and ingenuity. The results sometimes turn out to be much more successful than industrial designs, and the pleasure experienced by the master cannot be assessed. To know how and from what a garden bench can be created with your own hands, you don’t have to storm bookstores.

Requirements that a garden bench must meet

Stability is one of the basic parameters of a homemade garden bench

There are many requirements for such a simple element of landscaping a summer cottage. It is necessary to immediately clarify that they are not some kind of documented standard; rather, they are the operational and aesthetic requirements of the owner for the quality of the product.

1. A certain degree of comfort, convenience for the user. Rest on fresh air should give real pleasure, which is largely ensured by the design of the bench. A product with successful ergonomics, equipped with a backrest, allowing you to lean back and relax - best option, to create which you need to take care in advance of choosing the most convenient design.
2. Safety. It is necessary to ensure proper strength and reliability of the product. There should be no possibility of overturning or destruction under a sitting person. All surfaces that can be touched by the user must be are carefully processed, burrs or sharp elements are removed, the presence of protruding nails or other parts dangerous to humans must not be allowed.
3. Resistant to external influences. The bench is under open air and takes on all atmospheric manifestations: precipitation, scorching rays of the sun, wind and other loads. Some materials are capable of changing their shape or surface quality (for example, wood), so it is important to periodically inspect them and take measures to eliminate any defects found.
4. Decorative effect, special look garden bench. The performance qualities of the product are not the only exceptional ones. The opportunity to create on the site a certain element of a fairy tale, a cozy and comfortable island of communication is undoubtedly attractive.

Materials for production: what to choose

The manufacture of a garden bench, as a rule, is made from the most affordable and inexpensive material. Scroll suitable materials for each owner is determined by his capabilities and skills, the presence of certain tools and equipment. There are designs of garden benches made from:

• Wood. One of the most accessible and widespread materials. Allows the creation of structures with different degrees of processing, finishing, shape or size. Almost all users have woodworking skills, but for manufacturing you will need quite big number tools.
  The durability of wood products used outdoors is low. Need to protective covering or impregnation.

  Wooden benches will last much longer if they are coated with a special varnish and the legs are provided with additional protection options

• Metal. Working with it requires certain skills and tools. Material accepts different ways processing, sold in the form of finished products (profile pipes or rolled products), allows you to create very attractive samples.

  In terms of base design, iron is a more convenient and durable material

  The strength and durability of a metal bench are high, but some care and protection against corrosion are necessary.

• Stone. The material is specific, the result largely depends on the type of stone and the processing method.

  Not everyone can do such masterpieces.

  A stone bench can look different, but in any case it will require effort and time to make.

  Benches are not always used for their intended purpose, and the choice is always up to the owner of the summer cottage

  At the same time, the strength and durability of the material are comparable to the service life of the house or site itself.

• Plastic. Typically, cuttings from plumbing or sewer pipes, other parts or remains from facing or finishing work.

  PVC and other types of pipes are easy to assemble for interesting designs of benches and benches

  The material is easy to cut, allows welding or other joining methods, does not rot and is not susceptible to moisture. The strength of plastic is lower than that of other materials, but it has elasticity that allows it to withstand mechanical impacts of a certain force without destruction.

• The most common option is when two or more materials are used in manufacturing. Most often made Basic structure(frame) made of metal or stone, concrete, brick, etc. Boards are most often used for the seat and back, although there are other types of construction.

What criteria do you use to choose the right model?

A beginner should start with simple models based on available materials

The bench model (type of construction, design) can be implemented in the most various forms or styles. The choice is determined by necessity, the needs of the owner or other considerations. The selection criteria are primarily the purpose and dimensions of the product. For some, a small bench is enough to sit down and take a breath. Others prefer to install a set of a table with two benches on the sides, suitable for family or friendly gatherings. The final choice should combine the owner’s wishes in the following categories:

• Dimensions.
• Material.
• Performance style.
• Composition (number of items, composition).

Factors influencing the choice of the optimal option may include:

• Plot size.
• Climatic conditions in the region.
• The owner's capabilities both financially and technologically.

It is important to take into account the number of people who may be on the site at the same time, choose optimal design and style.

Many people solve the problem using available materials or elements that require almost no additional action. Others create real masterpieces, spending a lot of time and effort on them.

Step-by-step instructions, drawings and diagrams for assembling garden benches with your own hands

You can design garden furniture yourself. For those who do not have the time or desire to create a project, there are ready-made drawings and manufacturing instructions. Let's look at some options that can inspire home craftsmen to create their own product. It is not necessary to follow the instructions inside and out; you can only use the idea itself or some points. The main thing is that the information turns out to be useful for plot owners and helps in making their own, original model of a garden bench.

Made of wood

There are many design options for garden benches made of wood. The most traditional form is a bench with a back, an approximate drawing of which can be seen in the figure.

The drawing shows a model of a stable simple structure

The sizes indicated in the diagram are the most common, with the exception of the length, which can be changed at will.

For production you will need:

• Edged boards 30–40 mm thick, 140–160 mm wide.
• Tape measure, ruler, square.
• Hacksaw, electric saw or jigsaw.
• Electric or manual plane.
• Electric drill, screwdriver.
• Hammer, pliers, hacksaw.
• Screws, nails.
• Varnish or paint, brush, appropriate solvent.

Procedure:

1. Cut the boards to lengths corresponding to the dimensions indicated in the diagram.
2. Process them with an electric or manual plane and chamfer them.
3. The backrests have a bevel that creates an inclination. Mark the workpieces and cut the corner with a jigsaw or circular saw.

   Please note that the length of the screws in this design gradually decreases

4. Assemble the frame by attaching crossbars to the legs and a longitudinal strip at the bottom.

   Cover the legs with varnish on all sides, including the one that will stand on the ground.

5. Attach the boards to the back and seat.

   The seat can be made narrower and the back straighter

This option can be made for permanent installation, for which the lower part of the legs must be extended by the amount of immersion in the ground. It must be taken into account that wood rots quickly, so before diving you need to apply a layer of hot bitumen or at least wrap the legs with roofing felt.

A bench with a back is considered one of the more difficult options. You can create a simpler structure using logs sawn lengthwise.

In this model, some negligence is a sign of style

Smooth (flat) parts form the seat and back (if needed). By slightly complicating the design, you can get a set of two benches and a table that looks deliberately rough, but stylish.

In some situations, a folding design is convenient, which can turn from a bench with a back into a set of two benches and a table. Owners of small plots will appreciate this option.

Transformable benches require precise sizes

The backrest, the lower edge of which rises, becomes a tabletop, and half of the seat moves back into the opposite side and becomes the second shop. You can find many options for transforming benches.

A transforming bench is the peak of carpentry art and is often beyond the power of a beginner

There are benches installed around tree trunks. They are in the shade and do not occupy a separate space, which is important for small areas. Making such a design is simple and does not require much time. There may be options designed for sitting with your back to the trunk.

Not great for conversations convenient option, but it’s easy to arrange flowers on it!

There are other designs that, in addition to the seat, form a circular version of the table. In this case, people are placed facing the tree.

To avoid rapid deterioration, any wooden structure is coated with varnish or impregnation.

Made of metal or wood-metal

Metal benches are highly durable, reliable, and elegant.

Metal products are exquisite, but not always comfortable

The only drawback is the metal's tendency to corrode. The best option is to use profile pipe rectangular or oval cross-section. The best way to create a product is by welding - this significantly speeds up the work and provides a high-quality and durable connection.

To work you will need tools:

• Welding machine, set of electrodes.
• Grinder with cutting wheel.
• Roulette, ruler.
• Scribbler, chalk or talcum powder.
• Clamps for temporary fixation of parts.

There can be many design options, and you can add any element at almost any stage of the assembly. The main part of the bench is the seat, which is a kind of lattice mounted on support legs.

The manufactured product must also be coated with paint or other protective material.

Creating a bench only from metal does not give the best results. Even in appearance, such a product looks too hard and cold.

Most often, combined structures are created in which metal is only load-bearing frame, legs and backrest supports. All elements that a person touches are made of wood. Similar designs are found everywhere and are familiar to everyone.

A bench with a curved back looks more elegant, but requires a little more skill.

They are quite simple and reliable, allowing you to replace damaged wooden parts if necessary. The main advantage can be considered the absence of specialized wooden elements - only bars of a certain cross-section are required, which are attached to the base using bolts and nuts.

The procedure is as follows:

1. A working drawing is drawn up indicating all dimensions. If used finished project, then you can skip this point.
2. Parts are cut from the pipe to the required length according to specifications.
3. The parts are connected to each other by welding.
4. If the back and seat are wooden, then the corresponding bars are cut and processed.
5. Holes are drilled on the base for bolts for the seat and backrest.
6. The base is covered with a layer of protective paint. The most popular option is black bitumen.
7. While the base is drying, it is recommended to simultaneously varnish or paint the wooden parts.
8. The bench is assembled and installed in place.

If you have a pipe bender on hand, you can create a very attractive design with elegant curved armrests.

Such models are created using a pipe bender, and you also need to be able to use it

Such a bench will take a little more time than the usual version with straight lines, and the effect will be much greater.

Concrete slabs combined with wood

The design option for a garden bench using concrete slabs as a base is less common than wooden or metal samples. Nevertheless, the owners of such products note their decorative value and durability. To create such structures, it is necessary to place concrete hollow blocks of a certain size. The simplest version of the design is assembled from rectangular slabs like paving or facing slabs, which are drilled and pulled together threaded rods, placing wooden boards between the slabs.

They perform several functions at once - they connect the supports to each other and form a seat.

A concrete-wooden bench is not suitable for every garden design, because it looks somewhat massive It is advisable to select the thickness of the slabs so that the gaps between the boards are not too large, as this creates discomfort for a sitting person. If suitable slabs

If you don’t have it at hand, you can solve the problem by laying additional flooring from boards laid horizontally. This option will allow you to get a seat without any gaps at all.

In addition to slabs, you can use other types of blocks. One of the most- fixation is required only for blocks

Using imagination, the user is able to create a lot of design options. If desired and possible, you can make formwork and pour your own version concrete base having an exclusive appearance or configuration.

From scrap materials

On summer cottage you can find many improvised elements that make original and stylish items garden furniture. One option is to use pallets from bricks or cinder blocks left over from construction or renovation. Recently, through the efforts of designers and marketers, furniture made from pallets (pallets) has become fashionable; it is used not only in the country, but also in residential premises.

Pallets are now truly in demand in garden design, and their scope of application is not limited to furniture alone

Making a bench from pallets is easy. You just need to install them on top of each other in the right way. You don’t even have to connect them together, since the pallets are quite stable and lie motionless in a stack, and if necessary, it’s easy to build another composition out of them by attaching a table or additional seats.

Uncomplicated and, moreover, in its own way stylish option: savings and originality!

Video: Creating a bench with a back from pallets in 10 minutes

Another interesting option is to use old chairs. There is also wide scope for imagination here. The easiest way is to disassemble the chairs, take the back legs, which are structurally connected to the backs.

Try to take chairs of decent quality

A frame to the size of the seat is assembled from the bars and attached to the backrests with legs installed opposite each other. If necessary, you can connect the backrests at the top on one side, resulting in a solid back support.

This design is suitable for a maximum of two, but it is better to make it for children

Another way is to arrange them tightly in a row and connect them together at the sides.

Other options

There are other ways to make garden benches. The imagination of users has no limits; as practice has shown, garden furniture can be made from almost anything. For example, benches made from scraps of plastic pipes. They are collected as in the usual way using standard fittings, or by welding or gluing along the side surfaces.

Cheap and cheerful: nothing extra, everything goes into the house!

The pipes form a flat plane on top, and supports from pipes of the same length are created below. The remaining tubes, shorter ones, simply “hang” above the ground.

Other, no less original version making benches for the dacha - using thick tree branches.

Benches of this type are an excellent accent in the design of a country-style cottage.

If old trees have been cut down or trimmed nearby, this option can be used at no cost. The bench is assembled using screws or nails. You can make the drawing yourself or adapt a ready-made version.

Making a garden bench does not require a very technological result and even allows for some negligence. The main advantage of such furniture is not the quality of production, but the original and unexpected idea, idea, design discovery. It is important to accurately grasp the style and create an accurate image of the product, in maximum degree corresponding to the appearance of the entire site, the house, and the surrounding landscape. Sometimes two pieces of wood placed on top of each other create a greater effect than a complex and expensive structure made from the most modern materials. You should not undertake complex and expensive work; it is better to use your imagination and create a unique product.

Organization dacha zone relaxing with your own hands is an interesting activity. An integral element of a gazebo, a quiet area of ​​the yard surrounded by living greenery, or cozy space on the porch of the house there is a bench with a back. Such garden furniture will allow you to relax and spend time with a pleasant conversation, a cup of tea or with your favorite book.

Features of manufacturing benches

Building benches takes time, practical and creative approach. Before you begin, you should prepare a drawing that will help you quickly achieve the desired result.

Depending on the type of bench material, tools for manufacturing are required. The main requirement for safety and ease of work is the serviceability of devices and the ability to handle them.

Assembling a garden bench according to a drawing is not determined by strict execution principles. But, as with any landscape element, first of all, strength, convenience and stability are required.

If the load of the bench on the supports is not evenly distributed, it will be impossible to use.

To make a bench they use different materials. The choice is primarily related to the availability of raw materials and ease of processing. If wood is freely available at every dacha, then concrete and metal will have to be purchased. Some processes require experience in processing the material itself, which makes DIY difficult.

Bench design with backrest

Such a garden bench consists of several parts that perform different functions:

• Legs are support elements that allow you to stably place the product on the platform. To maintain the balance of the bench, even when no one is sitting on it, the legs on the back side are made wider. The height is taken into account in accordance with a comfortable fit - 40-50 cm.
• The seat is the horizontal surface of the bench that is attached to the legs.
• The backrest serves for a comfortable sitting position. This element is fixed to upper parts rear legs or to the edge of the seat.
• Armrests are optional parts, but useful. They serve for a comfortable positioning of the hands of the person sitting and give the bench a more complete look. The connection can be made in different ways: with the seat and back, with one of these parts, or by moving the armrests away from the legs.

Wooden - the simplest

For work use a regular carpentry tool– manual or electric. The assembly elements most often are boards, slats and beams. Standard Configurations and Sizes building elements help create the correct geometric shapes and securely fasten parts. For such bench options, a drawing of the future design is first made:

Metal benches

A pure metal garden bench is a rarity. Iron as a material for a bench has a number of disadvantages: cold surface, rigidity, difficulty in processing, and others. The only factor due to which metal is sometimes preferred to wood is its longer service life. The disadvantages of the material can be easily circumvented by using soft pads on the seat and back.

Metal product

The elements of an ordinary iron bench and the methods for making the structure are the same as for a wooden bench. Instead of boards and beams, rolled metal and pipes are used. The legs and intermediate transverse supports for the seat and back are made from corners, I-beams or profiles. Pipes with a round cross-section are also suitable. To form planes, it is better to use a profiled pipe: it is durable and creates an even, smooth surface.

Stone and combined benches

A garden bench made of granite, concrete, marble is a heavy and complex stationary structure that is difficult to make yourself using one material. Processing the bench may take several months.

Bench made of stone and wood

Stationary options have high aesthetic value, where stands (columns) made of stone are the legs of the bench. This kind of work is easy to do; the upper elements of the bench are more difficult to manufacture. In the countryside, instead of stone, you can use concrete, from which it is easy to create an interesting shape of legs with cutouts for the seat.

It is not necessary to increase the support area of ​​a stone bench with a back - the concrete is firmly connected to the ground.

A combined option that also deserves attention is a garden bench made of metal and wood. This design has a number of advantages: the iron frame increases service life, and the wooden elements of the back and seat are easy to replace in case of breakage. Forged parts and shaped armrests add a special touch to the benches.

Wooden, metal and concrete benches with a back require surface treatment immediately after manufacture. Antifungal and anticorrosion agents, primers, enamels, paints, varnishes protect materials from damage by insects, mold and exposure environment. Carrying out such activities allows you to extend the life of the garden bench.

At your summer cottage, you really want to have a corner where you can relax and enjoy nature. It is impossible to imagine such a place without beautiful bench. A self-made garden bench can not only save money, but also fulfill the individual needs and ideas of everyone, because there are a lot of options and techniques for making it, and from them you can choose the one that suits you.

This issue is worth addressing because a bench is not only an object for the convenience of relaxation, but also a place where sufficient work will be carried out. a large number of time, and therefore the view and atmosphere must be suitable. In addition, much in its design and installation process will depend on the selected area for installing a garden bench, as well as its type.

Examples of the location of garden benches from the design side.

A bench for a summer house made of wood combined with forged wood frame. A bench made of logs with a stone base.	It will fit very harmoniously into a garden in which trees with large crowns and various fluffy shrubs grow.
Bench romantic style, openwork	A garden of young trees or a vineyard would be a good place to place it.

Bench combined with decorative items	A very popular place to place a bench is a veranda or gazebo. In this case, a do-it-yourself garden bench should be made in a similar style with existing decorative items and the veranda or gazebo itself.
Combined benches and table	This design will be good on a small spacious plot of land, which can be decorated with floral vegetation, and can also be located next to the house or under a canopy.

In addition to the options listed, you can install a bench in a place where children usually spend their leisure time, which will allow you to be close to them when they play. It will be especially good to organize a place to rest if there is a lone tree on the site, which has a spreading crown, by installing a bench directly under it.

In addition, you can organize a canopy near the house, under which you can place a garden bench. It will be good place rest even in rainy weather. There is another option to simply locate a bench in the beds where crops are grown - it will be convenient for relaxing between work in the garden.

It’s quite simple to come up with a decorative composition with its participation; for example, it looks good on elevations, decorated with boulders or shrubs; a bench that harmoniously merges into a flower bed is also pleasing to the eye.

Preliminary steps

After the location of the bench has been determined, you need to start planning the future product. It is worth considering a few points:

1. Size. If the bench is typical in size and you do not want to design an individual model, you can use the data from the table.
2. Method of fastening the backrest.
3. Leg layout. This criterion can be determined based on the mobility of the product. If the bench is a stationary structure, then it should be strengthened in the ground with cement, first digging a hole in the ground of the required size.

Table of standard bench sizes.

When the drawing plan is drawn up, you can easily determine the size of each part of the bench from it, and then begin its manufacture.

It is also worth asking about the material from which the DIY garden bench will be made. Each material has its own special nuances that can be used as advantages to achieve the desired result.

Mandatory requirements for the bench

In addition to the previous nuances in the process of designing a product, it is worth taking into account a certain list of requirements that it must meet. The following must be taken into account:

1. Safety. You should not allow an unreliable design of the product, because this can bring a lot of troubles when using it. To ensure safe use, it is worth choosing only high-quality material, as well as fastening devices and any accessories.
2. Convenience. Undoubtedly, such an item in the garden as a garden bench should be comfortable so that nothing interferes with the relaxation process. To do this, you need to approach the project creation stage very competently and carefully and think through all the details in advance.
3. Immunity to influence external conditions . To provide long-term preservation appearance and service life, it is necessary to select only solid material at the stage of product assembly. Additionally, it is worth processing it (if made from wood material) by special means, which can provide protection to the product.

Design options

There are quite a lot of variations in which a garden bench can be made with your own hands. When it comes to products made from wooden material, then for this you will need the following list of tools and materials.

Any country bench has essentially the same assembly process. To more accurately understand such a process, it can be considered at specific example, based on the material listed above.

Help: A similar principle is used when self-creation benches made of wood in any version of its design.

Simple bench

In order to avoid any problems in the process of drawing up a drawing, it is possible to use a ready-made one. This bench is very easy to make. It is only necessary to install additional support bars of three larger and smaller sizes. Assembly occurs according to the specified principle.

Help: You can diversify such a product simply by changing color scheme, as well as drawing various kinds of patterns. But at the same time it is necessary to carry out processing of the wood material.

Classical

It is also quite simple to design, plus it is possible to vary the backrest by changing the arrangement of the slats, for example, making them cross-shaped. If you approach the process of creating such a shop with all the specified nuances, then it will not be used for a long enough time. For the drawing, you can use an existing one, and take the dimensions from a standard sample.

Folding bench for the garden

Metal bench

A DIY garden bench can be made not only from wooden material. You can use a metal frame, which is not difficult for anyone to make, even if you have no experience in forging metal.

To construct a frame for a bench, you can also use cold forging, namely, connecting parts into a single structure metal frame. At the same time, you can complement the product with something, decorating it.

The table shows the principle by which you make a garden bench with your own hands.

The good thing about this design is that, due to the material that goes into the structure, it is light enough to be transported or rearranged. required space if desired. It is also important that such a product is stable to temperature changes, which is why it will be possible to use it for more than one year in a row.

Helpful information

When making a garden bench with your own hands, it is better to keep in mind the following rules, which will greatly simplify the work and help avoid difficulties:

1. When purchasing material for construction, it is worth considering the percentage of losses during cutting required size details. It is about 10%.
2. To avoid wastage of material, and possibly achieve savings, it is best to start manufacturing and cutting out elements and those boards that are the longest.
3. If you want to make the seat wider than indicated in standard sizes, then you need to remember that deflections of the wood material are possible in the absence of a supporting frame structure.
4. To avoid injury, it is better to initially take care of eliminating all angular and pointed areas.
5. It is also worth remembering that wood material is prone to drying out, which must be taken into account when drawing up a drawing and leaving spaces for gaps.

The next stage is to give the required angle of inclination, in this case we are talking about the rear legs of the bench. These elements serve as a frame. Markings are applied to the prepared parts.

We measure the height - 0.4 m. It is necessary to make a cut equal to 20 degrees to form an angle of inclination. The distance between the legs of the bench in front and behind should be 0.28 m. A beam with a size of 0.5 m connects the legs. It is better when the strapping is done not only from above, but also from below.

The sides are connected as soon as the assembly of the main parts is completed. The boards are fastened with self-tapping screws to the strapping bars, which are located on top. Gaps are left between the workpieces to drain moisture.

To make blanks for the legs, metal pipe cut into 4 parts, the length of each should be 0.4 m. The blanks are attached to the corners of the bench. To strengthen the legs, additional stiffening ribs are installed.

Note!

To make the back you will need 2 blanks. The length of one should be 1.5 m, and the other – 0.44 mm. We weld the blanks for the back together and weld them to the seat. We must not forget about the angle of inclination. For rest to be comfortable, it must be at least 15 or 20 degrees.
